Metropolización en Argentina
Abstract
Starting from the "rank-size" rule the paper formulates the concept of "metropolization" (Singer) and unveils its relation with the conventional "urbanization" index. It taces the evolution of metrolization in Argentina through its eight censuses, both for the set of all urban centers and for three subsets: large, medium and small ones. The paper also introduces the idea of economies of "geographical concentration" of activities (Lösch) and explores -under restrictive assumptions- its relation with metropolization. It finally estimates such relation with data from tha Argentine censuses, showing the tendency towards the concentration of economic roles in larger cities.
